We observed Swift and Fermi-detected GRB 250207A (Ferro et al., GCN 39182; Fermi GBM Collaboration, GCN 39181) as part of The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) "PanRadio GRB" Large Project C3542 (PI: G. Anderson) at 5.5 and 9 GHz on 2025-02-12, 2025-02-14 and 2025-02-21.
No radio sources were detected near the Swift/XRT enhanced position (Osborne et al., GCN 39217 )in any of the observation epochs. The 3-sigma upper limits for the 9 GHz observations are 174, 96, and 60 uJy respectively.
We thank the CSIRO Space and Astronomy staff for supporting these observations.
We acknowledge the Gomeroi people as the traditional owners of the Observatory site. The Australia Telescope Compact Array is part of the Australia Telescope National Facility (https://ror.org/05qajvd42) which is funded by the Australian Government for operation as a National Facility managed by CSIRO.

O. Mukherjee (USRA), R. Hamburg (USRA) and C. Meegan (UAH) report on behalf of
the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Team:
"At 01:16:03.15 UT on 07 February 2025, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 250207A (trigger 760583768/250207053).
which was also detected by Swift BAT (Ferro et al. 2025, GCN 39182), COLIBRÍ/DDRAGO (Angulo et al. 2025, GCN 39186),
Swift/UVOT (Kuin et al. 2025, GCN 39199), and Konus-Wind (Ridnaia. et al. 2025, GCN 39284)
The Fermi GBM Final Real-time Localization (GCN 39181) is consistent with the Swift BAT position.
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 46 degrees.
The GBM light curve consistes of a single emission episode with multiple peaks with a duration (T90)
of about 20 s (50-300 keV). The time-averaged spectrum
from T0-3.1 to T0+25.6 s is best fit by
a power law function with an exponential high-energy cutoff.
The power law index is -1.10 +/- 0.06 and the cutoff energy,
parameterized as Epeak, is 290 +/- 30 keV.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(1.04 +/- 0.04)E-05 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+12 s in the 10-1000 keV band is 4.7 +/- 0.3 ph/s/cm^2.
A Band function fits the spectrum equally well
with Epeak= 240 +/- 30 keV, alpha = -1.03 +/- 0.08 and beta = -2.3 +/- 0.3.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:

A. Ridnaia, D. Frederiks, A. Lysenko, D. Svinkin,
A. Tsvetkova, M. Ulanov, and T. Cline,
on behalf of the Konus-Wind team, report:
The long-duration GRB 250207A
(Fermi-GBM detection: Fermi GBM team, GCN 39181;
Swift-BAT detection: Ferro et al., GCN 39182; Moss et al., GCN 39245)
was detected by Konus-Wind (KW) in the waiting mode.
A Bayesian block analysis of the KW waiting mode data
reveals a >27 sigma count rate increase in the interval
from T0-7.699 s to T0+15.853 s where T0 = T0(BAT) = 01:16:07.33 UT.
The KW light curve of this burst is available at
http://www.ioffe.ru/LEA/GRBs/GRB250207A/
Modeling a time-integrated spectrum of the burst
(from T0-7.699 s to T0+15.853 s)
by a power law with exponential cutoff (CPL) model
dN/dE ~ (E^alpha)*exp(-E*(2+alpha)/Ep):
yields alpha = -1.26 (-0.12, + 0.14) and Ep = 329(-64,+91) keV.
The total burst fluence is 1.04(-0.11,+0.13)x10^-5 erg/cm^2,
and the 2.944 s peak energy flux, measured from T0+4.077 s,
is 7.05(-0.98,+1.08)x10^-7 erg/cm^2.
(both in the 20 keV - 10 MeV energy range).
All the quoted errors are estimated at the 68% confidence level.
All the presented results are preliminary.
